AgCard was launched as a Tasmanian first program by Primary Employers Tasmania in July last year and provided a national benchmark for employers' farm safety.

Project officer Clare Peltzer, a Nuffield Scholar, said registrations were growing, but she'd like to see it grow.

Since the launch, she said there had been 865 individual users, which was split into about 40 per cent employees, 20 per cent employers, and 20 per cent students.

As a former teacher, she said she hoped to see the student cohort grow as more word spread about the program.

"It's brand new, but the feedback from industry is that they've recognised it as a good thing," she said.

AgCard is similar to a white construction card and gives potential employees a leg up with basic farm safety and biosecurity advice.

It also provides employers with a benchmark by which to judge the knowledge of potential employees.

Ms Peltzer said the course helped to "set the expectation" about what potential rural employees should know about farm safety.

It also reduced the unknown elements and helped employers deliver site-specific information during induction, rather than having to go over the basics first.

She said it was beneficial for school leavers, who wanted to upskill before finding a job.

AgCard can be found online, and there is no cost for Tasmanian farm employers or employees to complete the practical training in the program's first year.

However, a fee will be applied to all non-Primary Employers Tasmania members from the program's second year.
